mariebolt@anderson5.net.
College Fair Tomorrow
The guidance department is sponsoring a College Fair for juniors and seniors on
Tuesday, October 15, 2013, from 10:10-10:55 am in the mall area. College
representatives will be speaking with juniors and seniors to provide information
regarding admissions/academics/athletics/extracurricular opportunities available at
their respective post-secondary institutions. Students who have class at the Anderson
V Career Campus or Southwood Academy of the Arts are expected to attend their
respective class at those locations during this time. All juniors and seniors on the TL
Hanna campus may visit with college representatives in the mall area from 10:10 –
10:55 am.
PSAT and ASVAB Wednesday
The Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (which is also the National Merit Scholarship
Qualifying Test) and the ASVAB will be given this Wednesday in the morning. The
afternoon is an early release day for students and a Professional Development Half
Day for Teachers.
School Dance Friday After
Greenwood Game – New Ground
Rules About Dancing…
I have consented to allow Student Government to sponsor a dance after the
Greenwood football game Friday night, October 18. Along with the privilege will
come student responsibility to dance appropriately. As you may be aware, we have
had issues with “dirty dancing,” and I don’t mean the Patrick Swayze kind. That is
clean compared to what some students want to do. This dancing has a girl backing
up to a boy, where her backside comes in contact with his front side and then they
proceed to gyrate vigorously to the music. I think you get the picture. You might
think that the students participating in this are the real trouble-makers, right? No so.
Even those thought of as upstanding citizens are taking part.
Schools all over the country are ceasing to have dances because of this new
phenomenon. All I can say is that we will not have it here. There is a new rule that
is really not new at all -- we just have never applied it to dancing. As you may
know, all school rules apply to school-sponsored events as well. Since a dance is a
school sponsored event, I am going to apply an existing rule to dancing. This rule
(in the Anderson V District Code of Conduct) is found under “Sexual Offenses:” The
rule states, “A student shall not engage in consensual sexual activity.” If one made
the motion I described above in the school building during the school day, it would
be considered a sexual offense. It only makes sense that the same motion on a dance
floor would be no different. The consequence for such an offense is three days of
out-of-school suspension. As students buy tickets for this dance, they will be given
the rule as it applies to inappropriate dancing. If they have issues with following the
rule, then I would suggest they find another locale in which to dance.
Breast Cancer Awareness Night at
Hanna
The T.L. Hanna Football family will honor and remember those who have fought
the battle with breast cancer (or any other type of cancer) this Friday night, October
18th by wearing our “A Crucial Catch” shirts and participating in a one-lap relay
around the track. The shirts are on sale now for $5.00 each (2X and 3X are $10.00
each). There is a limited number of each size and the shirts will be sold on a first
come, first serve basis. Order yours today! The relay will take place on the track at
7:15 pm before the varsity football game vs Greenwood. Walk for yourself or walk
for someone else! You don’t have to buy a shirt to participate in the relay. If you
have any questions, please contact Coach Fouch at kenyafouch@anderson5.net or
(864) 260-5151.
A CRUCIAL CATCH
Annual Screening Saves Lives
Powder Puff Football Game
The Powderpuff game has been postponed until November 14 to allow for practice
time. Students that have not yet paid need to do so next week in Room 802.
American Legion Oratorical Contest
See attachment to newsletter for information about this contest. There is scholarship
money attached to this contest.
Calhoun’s 40 Year Roundup
On Friday, October 25, 2013, Calhoun Academy of the Arts will be celebrating 40
years of service to children in the Anderson community. They are opening their
doors for a huge homecoming. They are inviting former students, parents, PTA
officers, teachers, and administrators to commemorate this special occasion in the life
of the school. They seek to reflect on the past and remember a rich tradition of
excellence exemplified by all those involved in Calhoun Street Elementary School
since 1973 and the contributions of all who came from North Fant Elementary
School in January 1973.
For those who would like to purchase a ticket for the barbeque dinner and are
unable to come to the school prior to the event, please call to have your ticket
reserved (864-260-5090). They need to have an estimate of the amount of food
needed for the event. Mark your calendars and attend if you have a past connection
to this wonderful school!
Grease
Grease is a high energy musical set in the rocking 50s. This classic coming of age
story features Danny, Sandy, and the whole Rydell High gang as they steer through
the typical high school “drama” singing familiar songs as “Greased Lighting, “Summer
Nights”, “Born to Hand Jive” and many more of your favorites from this Tony
nominated show! So grab your poodle skirts and leather jackets and hand jive your
way to Project Challenge Playhouse for your chance to enroll in Rydell High School
and become a Pink Lady or Burger Palace Boy!

What’s wrong with this picture? Radio relaxes in the gym with three
properly attired PE teachers and one who is in violation of dress code.
From this Clemson grad, I feel a letter of reprimand may be in order.
Even Radio is properly attired .
